Solution - Slope Stabilization

Introduction

The use of vegetation as a bio-engineering tool for erosion control and slope stabilization have been implemented for centuries but its popularity has increased in the last decades. This is partly due to the low costs of bio-engineering techniques, partly to the ‘soft’ vegetative approach instead of the ‘hard’ conventional engineering structures which have been the concern over the visual degradation of the environment caused by infrastructure development and partly due to the fact that more knowledge and information on vegetation are now available for application in engineering designs.
